All We Wanted Was a Gem that Wouldn't Fade Lyrics

Can you be timeless — and still be new?

Can you make somebody feel something when you share a part of you?

Can you be ageless — and still mean something?

We swore we wouldn't stay up late anymore, but we stayed up all night talking

You've got your damage

I've got my damage, too

We swore that we'd protect ourselves and preserve our hearts

But I still smile at the thought of you

You

'Cause you need to be yourself

And you like being yourself more when you're with me than anybody else

Anybody else

So can you be reckless — and still stay safe?

'Cause you've shown me pieces of your heart that no one can replace

And I see your necklace... on the bedside table next to me

And I love the way you adorn yourself and you bring out the best in me

'Cause you need to be yourself

And you like being yourself more when you're with me than anybody else

Anybody else

And we need to be ourselves

And we like being ourselves more together than with anybody else

Anybody else

Bouncing off each other for years like stripes and solids, really

The universe couldn't keep us apart like Meg Ryan and Billy

I feel so vulnerable with your hair in my hands

Your voice in my head

Even when we haunt each other by accident

I still wanna see you again

You've got your habits

I've got my habits, too

Well, it kills to want this so earnestly and not know if we should see it through... through

'Cause you need to be yourself

And you like being yourself more when you're with me than anybody else

Anybody else

And we need to be ourselves

And we like being ourselves more together than with anybody else

Anybody else
